Thunderbug charged energy gun // Luchefar

3D Model

This weapon is a part of my pet project — Exolith. Worldbuilding project/ Lorebook of the fictional setting: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v2l0Pv /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Luchefar, is an extremely dangerous weapon of the desperate and fearless. Inside the cannon is a mechanism of unknown design, which is connected to two sharp spikes that protrude from the outside of the case. A thunderbug is threaded onto the spikes, which releases its own electric charge before dying, activating the cannon. The charge in the crystal lasts 1-3 minutes, during which time the trigger has to be pressed, which activates the release of a powerful energy beam charge that can instantly turn a person into a vapor. Because of the instability of absolutely every element of the entire design, there is a very high probability that the weapon will misfire (at best) or explode in the hand. The explosion usually results in death, but if the shooter is lucky, he will simply lose his hand.
